A detailed summary of a film story. Often used to sell a project before the script is written.
Challenge:
Based on the subject matter and the parameters your class has established, develop project ideas and compose a simple one-page document that will act as a guide for developing thestory into a script. This treatment describes what you intend to do and why. Your scene must be developed so it stands alone, with a set-up, tension development (conflict/crisis) and resolution. Your treatment will be for a 60-90 second movie trailer for a book that you've read in english class this year (or from summer reading). Try to write your movie treatment for your trailer as if the book was being turned into a movie.
Things to Think About:
What characters are in the scene? What do they say? How do they communicate?
How will this scene deepen the audience’s understanding of the characters and their interpersonal relationships?
How will the audience feel the emotion you intend?
Does the scene make sense, given what has preceded it?
If it is an adaptation, does your scene alter the original story more than it should?
What setting have you chosen to illustrate this storyline or concept?
